I shot my new OD Glock 23 for the first time today after purchasing it on Monday.
We ran my 23, my brothers 17 and his PT1911.
In .40 we used 165 Grain WWB and 180 grain Federal American Eagle. In 9 it was all 115 gr WWB, .45 was mixed 230gr Wolf and Remington UMC.
It's my first .40 cal handgun, aside from shooting a Baby Eagle .40 so long ago I don't even remember it. I can see why people think .40 is snappy compare to .45 or 9, but I enjoyed it quite a bit, just a small adjustment.
As far as accuracy, 7yd shots were grouped well, but about 1 - 2 inches low and right, I assume I'm doing something wrong. 14 yards I couldn't hit a 3 inch resetting target reliably. I could shoot center and hit the plate reliably with my brothers 1911....I was forced by coercion to admit this publicly.
I saw a big difference in the recoil and my own accuracy with the 180 grain over the 165.
